FERRARI KIT CAR, FIBERGLASS BODY, Kelmark GT Dino kit. car. NEEDS PAINT, SET UP FOR PORSCHE ENGINE, NO ENGINE
VW ENGINE WILL FIT
1100.00 OBO WILL TRADE
With all that is missing and/or needs to be done this is what the OP focused on. I'd say it needs a bit more than just paint.
... but it's set up for a Porsche engine, see?
No engine right now, of course, and a lowly VW engine will fit - but it's set up for a ragin' 4-cylinder Porsche engine. Nothing says "cool" like a fiberglass (sorta') replica Dino with a Porsche engine.
He'd like 1100 bucks, but will trade. One wonders for what? A used flat-screen? Lottery tickets? A Dodge Neon with a blown engine?
When one gets to a certain price-point, trades become something of an impossibility.
